While FX’s American Horror Story: Asylum might not be everyone’s cup of tea, even the skeptics among you would admit there was something extra creepy about tonight’s episode.  Not only did it air on Halloween night, which is just candy in the basket for the show’s marketing, but the episode featured a powerful storm slamming into New England and throwing the patients of Briarcliff Asylum into hysterics.  With East Coast residents still reeling from the effects of Hurricane Sandy, this prescient plotting did not go unnoticed; but was the rest of the episode as memorable?

American Horror Story: Asylum stars Jessica Lange, Zachary Quinto, Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson and Lily Rabe, along with newcomers Adam Levine, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, James Cromwell, Joseph Fiennes, Chloe Sevigny, Lizzie Brochere and Clea Duvall. Hit the jump for the recap of tonight’s episode, “Nor’Easter.”

Last week, we covered the season two premiere of FX’s American Horror Story: Asylum from creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, which featured racism, homophobia and good old-fashioned alien abductions.  It seems like some of you were on the fence about the first episode of the new season, which takes place in Briarcliff Asylum both in 1964 and in present day.  Let’s see if episode two (and our first look at Zachary Quinto in his new role) brought you around.

American Horror Story: Asylum also stars Jessica Lange, Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson and Lily Rabe, along with show newcomers Adam Levine, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, James Cromwell, Joseph Fiennes, Chloe Sevigny, Lizzie Brochere and Clea Duvall. Hit the jump for the recap of tonight’s episode, “Tricks and Treats.”

Hit horror anthology American Horror Story: Asylum is finally back on TV!  The Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk creation won over audiences and critics alike in its first season, but now the creators, cast and crew are back for another go-round.  The second season takes place in the titular Briarcliff Asylum in Massachusetts.  The first episode revealed that, though the location is the same, we may be in for a bit of time jumping. No scenes with season one standouts Zachary Quinto or Frances Conroy on tonight’s episode, but we did get a heaping helping of Jessica Lange, Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson and Lily Rabe, along with show newcomers Adam Levine, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, James Cromwell, Joseph Fiennes, Chloe Sevigny, Lizzie Brochere and even Clea Duvall! Hit the jump for the recap of the premiere episode, “Welcome to Briarcliff!”

With American Horror Story: Asylum kicking off on FX, old and new fans alike may be wondering just who all these people are and what the hell are they doing running around an insane asylum.  Lucky for you, we’ve put together a list of characters both past and present that are portrayed by the cast, both old and new.  The brilliant creation of Brad Falchuk and Ryan Murphy is a true horror anthology, a series that can be refreshed with new stories and new blood each season, while keeping some of the actors fixed and merely changing their roles.  The inaugural season of AHS took place in the world’s creepiest haunted house; this year’s about to get crazier.  If you haven’t seen the first season, turn back now.  Or, better yet, catch up on our recaps of last year’s run and take a look at the promotional material for Asylum.

The first five minutes of the FX series American Horror Story: Asylum have gone online and—surprise—they’re all about sex and violence.  For those unaware, AHS is an anthology series, so this second season (titled Asylum) features a brand new setting and cast of characters.  These first five minutes take place in present day and feature Adam Levine and Jenna Dewan Tatum (ie. Channing Tatum’s wife) as a sex-obsessed couple who go snooping around the remains of Briarcliff Manor in order to perform various sexual acts in the haunted locale.  Naturally, things do not go well.

The distractingly frenetic visual style from the show’s pilot is back and some of the dialogue is a bit cringe-worthy, but the mythology of season one was pretty intriguing so I’ll likely be checking out the entirety of Asylum.  Hit the jump to watch the slightly NSFW first five minutes of the show, which also includes the series’ new title sequence.  American Horror Story: Asylum premieres on FX October 17th at 10pm.

Though we’ve already seen roughly 37 mini-trailers for the upcoming second season of American Horror Story, a new trailer has now landed online that features a great deal of actual footage from the show.  As you may or may not know, AHS is an anthology series and this season’s storyline takes place in an insane asylum in 1964.  This trailer shows a few promising bits as well as some scenes that hint toward some of the more over-the-top leanings of co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuck.  Jessica Lange looks to be having some fun as the asylum’s head nun, and we also get a peek at the present day frame story with Adam Levine and Jenna Dewan Tatum.

Hit the jump to check out what’s essentially the first true trailer for American Horror Story: Asylum.  The series also stars Zachary Quinto, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, Sarah Paulson, Chloe Sevigny, Joseph Fiennes, and James Cromwell.  The second season premieres on FX on October 17th at 10pm.

If Labor Day signals the unofficial end of Summer, then the premiere of American Horror Story: Asylum should suffice for the unofficial kick-off for Halloween.  To get an early jump on the festivities, we have a handful of new images and teaser promos to share with you today.  The marketing isn’t providing a whole lot of context or even showing any of the cast.  What they’re doing is giving us a look at the aesthetics of season two and teasing the bejesus out of us for what we can expect to see.  Perhaps newcomer Franka Potente (The Bourne Identity) can shed some light on that subject.
